High again in France ^^ bonjour a vous deux ^^ please y Will try to grow auto for the second time y have à grow room with 720watt bloom led light so m'y question is how much power can y give to m'y auto (ppfd or dli ) thx actually m'y light is at 60cm from canopy at 50%in veg
No topping. LST is the way to go. Tie them babies down. Expose them nodes. I get 4-6 oz per plant. Topping puts you behind early in the grow. Great video!
run compost teas' with your autos and you can correct very fast when your using dry organic amendments, i run my autos in coco, growth is insane vs pro mix, i've found it best to just leaf tuck till the start to stretch then i leaf pick, then at the end of stretch i leaf pick again, they usually always grow into 4 foot bushes.
@@Highigan my autos are in my nursery video's check out what my tea does to them when you get a minute. i think they grow very well. hope you had a great weekend
@@katjoy9921 im growing 3 cream manadrin xl's from seedsman and a mystery auto. Dutch passions where I've had the best results though. They have plants that all pretty much look the same when you drop 3 beans you get 3 replicas pretty much. Helps with space a ton having things grow uinform everytime.
👍 I read your comment and I do the same for training. Take a few minutes and read my comment above yours. I have really focused on auto growing for years in Coco just like you. My tips or lessons learned could help you. I actually have had a 1lbs nugs only ( strain was important, GG#4 from i49 and Herbieshead shop seeds. Herbieshead shop, auto mix pack 3 strains, 5 beans per equals 15 quality high THC, plus you get 3 free beans of your choice.....drum roll 18 seeds for $82 USD....best reliable quality auto seeds out there for the price.👍
Good info for a newer aspiring grower like me. Did my first seasonal outdoor grow from last march on until October and liked the process and my modest 8 oz four plant crop so much I decided to set up for autoflowers between seasonal outdoor grows and will be trying your tips out for sure. Lots of mistakes for both the outdoor and autoflower grows but also lots of learning and fun along the way as well. I will get my green thumb going in time but in the meantime even so I am enjoying growing, harvesting smoking and sharing the green from my modest success so far. I will definitely share your channel with the friends in my little growing message group. Good stuff you guys keep the vids coming.
Thank you for these videos. I've been looking for a passionate hobby every since my fiance passed away. I found peace in cannabis. Both in it's consumption and in its grow. I love this!!!! Of course I'm just starting out and on a budget grow. I chose to grow autos because of all the bad press I heard on them. Because of your channel I've grown confident and passionate about auto flowers!!!??
You two are the first ones I've ever seen clone an auto. Everyone says you cant but I watched yall do it lol. That's called haveing fun . Great job guys. Love yall.
Yeah that's when we start counting, sometimes they don't make it or take days to pop up, so we always start the count on the day we see its out of the soil! Write that date on your plant name tag so you can know when it started! Helps down the road!
One thing you'll realize is all of the greatest growers have made every one of these mistakes and that's why they're great at it. 😉 Keep growing! You guys are awesome!
First thing I wish I would’ve known about autos is that they’re A novelty selling point not worth wasting your time growing. This is 15 years of experience speaking. You’re not getting faster or easier bud. You are just getting lower quality. You could veg your photos out and flip them in the same amount of time. The only benefit you’re looking at he’s not having to flip or worry about your light schedule being interrupted. If you’re mowing to invest time and money into growing one might as well not take any risk and go for the highest quality possible. There’s not a worse feeling than wasting all those weeks on some low quality bud it’s really not satisfying. I’ve tried hydroponics, auto flowers, synthetic fertilizers, organics, 2 gallon pots, 7 gallon pots, dozens of breeders. Everyone has different preferences and climates but for the most part the best route Is an organic living soil grow with Gaia green amendments earth worm castings, Michorizzae, and some form of manure, top dress every four weeks. And you pointed out another con for me. There’s no correcting an auto flower. It’s the roots at the bottom of the pot and it goes into flower before it even has two nodes, or you overwater, underwater, overfeed, underfeed. PH wrong. It’s over. No fixing it. With all of the amazing genetics flooding the market I find it hard to understand how the auto flower industry is still striving other than amateur growers who bought into the idea of novelty. I would much rather take this very little effort of flipping my lights and having control over light leaks, especially having control over veg time. There is nothing more frustrating than an auto that produces you a quarter ounce of bulk and you spent go to $15 a seed and wasted up to three months of your life on. I’ve maybe had two out of a dozen auto flowers that were worth growing. And those numbers aren’t good enough for me
Shocking the plant with such a small duration is not advised. I found the best is low stress training when one or two are reaching. With a 80 day Harvest I prefer super soil with a bloom boost toward the end. And only water half of the pot without any water coming out the bottom. This way they can have constant oxygen.
I just planted my first 4 plants. 4 x Auto. I have settled on LST before you posted but glad of the confirmation. Thank you. Can you confirm something for me. Are you saying you never have run off? I am able water as slowly as possible and was planning to have very little but your post suggest you might have no run off. If that is the case I would love to follow that on try #1.
After re reading I am quite sure you do not generate run off. Thank you very much for posting because I was curious about this exactly. With all the talk of run off I was going to over water them but something in my gut knew consistant run off could not be good for roots. I bought a super soil, best one I could and added about 60% all purpose and 40% bloom. Was very tempted to get seaweed ectract, rhino skin and bud candy but I decided to just keep 1st attempt simple. What would you recommend to put on my shopping list in this regard if I can ask you? Those 3 I see coming up again and again but I am one of the newest growers period so would love to know which nutrients you rate.
@@t.b.bishop9749 .....hay t.b.,... first thing I learned, to simplify your growing and to give the plant what it needs. So having said that, I pick up the super soil from a company called "coast of Maine", stonington blend. The thing with super soil its active and you don't need to add anything up until the flower stage. When they talk about flushing it's because they add nutrients to a poor medium such as Coco coir that has no nutrients at all. Then you run into pH problems and then you run into overfeeding, and that's when you have to flush everything out to save the plant. I run autoflowers in a 3 gallon fiber material, that way it gets the oxygen. When I do water that's only half of it, take a marker or a coin or a pencil and put it on one half of the pot where you just add water, and then after a few days when I gets dry, you know to water the opposite side without it leaking through the bottom, although you have to start very slow because the water will run off the top. And don't use tap water with chlorine. Toward the end at about 6 weeks they'll start to Bud, that's when you need nutrients for the promotion of flowers and the resin that will give the bud a nice texture and flavor. The bloom enhancer I found off of Amazon was called flower fuel, super premium. NPK 1-34-32, good luck out there.
I use coast of Maine platinum. It’s made for autos. And lotus nutes about half way Thru the cycle. Pretty easy. And good quality. I don’t train shit. I do remove a few leads here and there for extra light penetration.
After listening to your first two tips, I think you should know that I don't plan on selling you guys my weed. I still want to know more about how you guys grow, but.... Yeah.
@@Highigan I got clones from a reputable source on the west coast of California I plan on making their plants very ANGRY. I don't plan on losing any plants but I also have a host of places to regurgitate or rejuvenate. So I'm hopeful. I asked for two varieties and one variety is literally a half inch shorter than the other. Yeay.
Hello! I love watching you guys. I am a new grower. My question is what is the brown powder stuff that you put in the pot on top of the topsoil and pour water on it during the vegetative stage?
84 day rule...I like that. As for 9 weeks, I agree. The Zkittlez was in veg for 5 weeks and flowering for 8 weeks. And the GDP's and Gelato, 2 weeks of veg about and 8-9 weeks of flower. So 10-14 weeks depending on the strain. Good tips.
Thanks guys, have you tried playing music to them, sounds crazy but it's a game changer, I use stuff like Positive Energy Music on UA-cam I listen to it myself and I even feel a lot better, try it and see.
Autos suck, smart less is better always go with 1-4 not even half then water . And less water also they don’t like to much water at all .. you do this with training and level canopy have big chuncks
Great tip we have not grown many autos outdoors but that definitely makes sense since most locations aren't getting 18+ hours daylight consistently over the grow. We have grow 99% of our autos indoors! We plan on doing some outdoor this year! 🙌💚🌳
Always check trichomes with a microscope 10 to 20% amber is to my liking any further than that and THC starts to rapidly degrade it doesn’t matter what the strain or if it’s auto flower or how long the plants have been growing this is the benchmark standard for all Marijuana plants to a healthy ripe harvest.
Just go with a true living soil like buildasoil and you will not see anymore lack of nutrients the auto will have everything it needs seed thru harvest just worry about ur water add microbes it's truly that easy!!
Top the first 4 - 5 branches as in as it gets taller Top that new side branch and tie those branches down 20 main Tops + and use the biggest pot you can fit in the area ,small pots are just saying NO to yield a good AIRY soil/medium so you can feed more often/water and adjust if over or under your desired ppm , the reason i say Airy Soil is because in there natural environment the ground they grow in is all new leaf litter and branches and other plant matter breaking down and has a lot of space between the medium and other parts of the medium , Cannabis has generally a shallow root zone because of this.
Does help esp if its an ultrasonic humidifier. I got a new evaporative humidifier unit, zero issues with straight tap water, no more white dust or residue, straight from the tap to the unit, love it!
I dig ya'lls vibe. Thanks for the video, gonna check your others out, especially the grows. I want to start a Blue Dream grow, thinking about auto for my first grow.
Thanks fam! We love the autos fast turn around and explosive growth! They can be challenging to start with but mastering them will lead to you being able to grow photos that much better! They are fun!
I find DWC ends up with more consistent excellent results. People say that DWC is complicated, but I find it easier. You just pH the water, measure your fertilizer for the water, change the water every two weeks and you don’t have to read the plants very much. Once the plants are big I do top off the water every two days. You end up with at least twice the yield of organically grown plants.
I accidentally topped my banana kush auto at the 8th node during lst yet she's doing better than the gg#4 and the gsce but who knows, this is my first grow.
@@Jay-tj1md yes u can. Topped my blue dream matic from fast buds. My autos finish in 8 weeks with a really great yield. I pulled 1/2LB on my first auto flower. No training whatsoever. I am running 2-4x8 tents with 2-TS 3000 in one and 2-FC6500 in the other. In my 5x5 I’m running 1-FC E6500. Love my lights. Marshydro has changed the game. I’m a beginner grower so lights and environment for me where everything before I even started growing.
So you guys confirmed my suspicion on why my two autos are completely different. Same grow environment, same nutes. One Just decided to stretch to the moon 🌚 and the other was short and bushy. I thought they were different genetics one being a sativa and another being a indica but I think you guys are correct.
To much watering doesn't let the roots grow down and out to find moisture. You do need to let seedlings stay moist with small doses of water, but then allow those roots to travel farther for what they want.
Love the video guys. But when using dry amendments you can supplement with compost teas while waiting that week for the amendments to break down. That way your not playing catch up as much.
We are just starting to dive into compost teas, something we were not doing before, so far results have been great! We will cover it in the upcoming grow series as they progress! Great comment and tip! We learnin! 💚💚
@@Highigan the way I like to use my compost tea’s is kinda like a fuel to a fire with the soil being my fire. The amendments are more like the wood. The wood burns great when you add it to the fire, but a little compost tea to fuel the fire can really help. But be careful not to add too much “fuel” to the fire because then it can become explosive or uncontrollable and it will be too hot for the plant to handle. Have fun guys!!!
I'm a new grower myself and I have run 1 batch of autoflowers so far but I definitely agree with the training thing cuz I didn't train and my plants and they got way to tall which was giving me problems cuz I can only raise my light so high but def do LST!!
Some beast out way harder! We do like topping even tho most people recommend against it, we have seen good results doing it early in life! Never know unless ya try and we over here goin mad scientist 👩🔬👨🔬🧪✂🌱🤣
I just finished 8, 2 plants of 4 dif strains a while ago and I topped 1 of each strain and clearly an early top way out performed the not topped. I've only used growers choice seeds for 2 auto runs bout to start 3rd
With a Auto just bend it over and tie it down don't top it. Or people don't realize if your lights density is right and close enough to your plants your plants won't stretch like crazy and all the nodes will grow out without no training
Tie over the top is a method we have tried a bunch, but top makes a more even plant, alot of times when you tie down you get a bunch of branches that try and reach around cuz they are on the bottom, alot of times those branches dont produce or never end up growing around so they can get good light so they end up getting cut off.
@@Highigan the smaller the plant the easier it is for the light to get to everything if you Tie the top down you can continue to tie all the other branches down the bottom will catch up LST. In the end it is whatever works best for you. I start bending my plants over immediately at the third node and continue to do so. by the time they go into flower they're only about 8 in tall I continue to tie down all the way until the fourth week of flower. which gives me the result of a flat even canopy and anything lower that hasn't made it to the top are full and ripe also because they are getting the light they need. by the time my plants are finished they're lucky if they're a foot 1/2 tall and they are bushy as hell.
I don’t grow auto’s very often but I’ve ran delicious seeds dark devil a couple times and it’s been crazy consistent all very purple almost black I’m actually running some right now they’re definitely worth sliding into the lineup
Gunna have to look into those, we have a panama red started thats going like that! Leaves, buds, super dark purp almost black! Can't wait to see how she finished out! You will see in an upcoming grow video!
I actually just chopped a dark devil at day 6o! Not sure why she finished so early. But I still have two running and they are at 65 but still have cloudy trichs. All dark purp. Just beautiful. I love sweet seeds the red family.
@@Highigan I do not have an insta any more but I am sure I can find yours. I live the purple cultivars. They're my favorite. Where were the Panama red genetics from?
@@johnnysanchez4996 It depends on a number of things: medium, pot size, whether indoor or out, light intensity. As for autoflower benefits; no need to worry about light leaks, you don't need as much input to get great results, and generally faster turnaround. Photos have autos beat when it comes to yield and the ability to take clones, plus the option to reveg and fix problems as they arise.
Whos genetics are ya running? For us and how we have been growing at least, most plants finish in 84 days, 12 weeks from time the plant pops out of soil
@@Highigan Typically mephisto, some dutch passion, used to love dinafem but since the raid i cant get my hands on any. Have a dutch passion Cinderella jack auto at the moment whos 90 days old and in the 1st week of flower, shes going to be a monster of an auto filling the majority of the 5x5. Shes under the roi-e680 with the autopilot controller keeping her at a steady 1100ppm co2 and lights giving 1000 par at canopy. Love mepisto , my largest auto was a 3bears og 18oz dry weight. Shes the girl in my avatar
@@Highigan Even though all my lights are full spectrum i run a 3 tent process. Veg tent roi-680 light gives a nice softer blue light for veg, tent #2 phantom photobio mx has a better blended spectrum more of a white light for transision to flower/early flower and tent #3 i have 3 electric sky es300s with more of a orange/red light to realy pack on the resin production during flower. Any of these lights do good start to finish but ive found this method works best for me. I should just take the hit and buy adjustable spectrum lights but for now this works
@@Highigan awesome! We have some unreleased Night Owl Freebies I can send your way! Would love to see the results 💯 Milk and Qookies F2 and Rouge and Blue *indica pheno
Organic nutrients are tricky especially top amendments they take longer for the plant to process so a common mistake is feeding your plants and 2 or 3 days no visible results so you feed some more and then the next day or two you wake up check your plants and their burnt and darker green than Astro turf when using organic dry amendments you have to be patient give it at least a week for the plant to break it down then you’ll see results.
Full plant tie down for autos all day. I wouldn't top. Topped one and let one grow natty and the Natty one was higher yield and a much bigger plant. If I would have did a full plant tie down I would have had multiple colas around the same size instead of one giant cola with them decreasing in size as you go down the plant. Still dense but just much smaller
@@Landonmoto39 that must be because you're also hilarious lol. I thought it was a pretty good name. My lady didn't like it but what the hell does she know 🤣
I enjoy y’all’s Chanel it is awesome. Unfortunately I can’t smoke due to my job but I like to watch videos like yours that offer a lot of encouragement to prospective growers. My retirement is not far off then I can smoke !!!
Nutrients is definitely something to play by book and watch closely. I was growing some gorilla cookies auto, and I overfed while in flower and she turned brown so fast within two days. She packed on so nice, gave a little discouragement but that was my first and last lesson on nutrients 😂
@@jhonwayne1003 you need a chart for each individual strain if you want to do it right. Best you pick a strain and learn to work with it. Try Bruce Banner Auto. It's a real powerful,vigorous plant with strong smoke, great yield. They do get big though if on 24 hr light in veg.
84 & out the door i wish.. haha... ive got one thats seriously 147 days old & its almost done now. the seedbank said 55-60 days . i have to admit i almost killed it over watering it & had to repot it so not all the breeders problem . I love autos but OMG they are a challenge
Yeah we have noticed what slows them the most is our own mistakes, that's usually the "special circumstances" we were talking about. If you do something to stunt it early on, it will usually take longer to finish out! We learnin! 🙏💚
I used to work for a hydroponic grow store.... Number One Advice: *STOP MESSING WITH YOUR PLANTS* less is more No topping...LST only....lollipop the bottom 20% at week 3 of flower. Start with *tall* pots and layer in 30% bloom soil in the bottom of the pot, 50% veg soil above that, and 20% coco/worm castings on top.
Less is more! We are trying to find our groove so we have just been experimenting! Def might try that mix soon tho in an up coming grow series! Love it! Thanks for the tips! 💚
Thank you, just started my first grow here in MN got everything set up in a 4x2. Got 3 auto in there now. Just on day 1. The gal I got the seeds from told me not to germinate the seeds. If they don’t sprout I will be germinating them next time! Thank you for giving me the courage to try at home! Love your videos very informative and helpful!
84 Days for an auto sounds about right.👌 3 to 4 weeks of vegetative growth, and 8 to 9 weeks of flower development. Never grew an auto, but it reminds me of doing a 12/12 from sprout with a photoperiod
Yeah and it works bomb for our perpetual all in one tent, just plant 4 a mo, chop ,4 since we can grow 12 plants here, it's perfect for us! And supply's more than enough to keep us goin 🔥💨
Sounds about right? No it doesnt sound about right. All auto strains have a pre determined life cycle from start to finish depending on the photperiod strain they crossed with the ruderallis strain. It.could be 50 days. It could be 90 days. It depends on the autoflower strain
Yeah sometimes you get those wild ones that just keep going, if its the strain, pheno or something that happened. Special cases always come up, then its a question of is it going to finish out or just keep going and never turn out..
@@engell3707 what the hell aren’t you thinking? You’ve never seen nute burn? Buds burned from lights too high power or too close? Less is more. You’re going to argue otherwise of course?
Right us too! Its the minerals from hard water. An evaporative humidifier does not produce the mineral dust like an ultrasonic humidifier does. The dust is not harmful it's just unsightly and annoying!
The dust although not toxic to the plant can greatly reduce the photosynthesis of light to leaf, if you are not deep into flower I would advise tilting the plant and rinse of with plain ph'ed water to restore full photosynthesis.
Another way to rid the minerals from the humidifier, you can put one of those camper in line filters on any of your taps and it will remove those minerals...
Is that 84 days from a seed to finished ? Really ?? New to Autos. Autos would also have various phenotypes in the same strain (cultivar is actually the correct word, , not strain! 🧐) That's why not all seeds are the same from the same grower in the same pack. Simple. Thanks for all your AUTOS advice. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The grow period stated on the package is usually only the "flowering" period, which allows them to pretend that autos are faster, because their veg period is really short and happens automatically, but the flowering time is still the same as photoperiods, still the same 2-3 weeks of stretch followed by 6-8 weeks of maturation. Which is why I've always disliked autos, I don't have any control over the plant before it flips a switch on it's own, and if I try to train the plant, it'll stunt it and give a poor result, and it's still going to take just as long to grow as a photoperiod.
i'm not saying you shouldn't top autos coz there's plenty of proof that it can be done, but 30 days seems super late ngl. for me i decide at the end of week two whether or not she's gonna be topped. if she's a slow poke and not strong enough for topping at around day 14 i'll just stick to LST with some lollipopping. i want her to have fully recovered before she starts flowering, not during the start of it. but if day 30 works for you, then who am i to tell you to do it differently. at the end of the day everyone has their own way of growing.
I'm an outside hobby grower in SoCal....I tried an auto Tangerine Dream grow next to my other plants....it was late in the season so it only grew like 12" tall before it started flowering....nice strain...fun to watch race to the finish line....I just let it go...do whatever it does....well...it turned hermaphrodite...."hermy" and dropped seeds into its pot....one grew....grew bigger than the plant...and flowered again....fun to watch...I keep my plants small...like around 5-6 feet....just enough for a years smoke...maybe i'll grow more autos someday...but to me...they are indoor plants....
they are definitely much much better indoors because you can give them 24hrs of lite and there fine with it. Can't beat the sun but ya cant do that outdoors lol. I wish
84days??? Today is day 84 and one auto is 2.5ft tall and in like 3rd or 4th week into flowering. Other plant is 1.5ft tall and just started flowering last week. Both are gorilla glue autos. Growing in Vancouver, Canada Outdoors. They only get direct sun in the evening. I don’t care how long it takes thou. I just put them in a pot and let nature do it’s thing. No topping, pruning, and just some bloom top dressing when I saw pre-flowers. But we had a shitty start to the year. It was cold and rainy all the time. Wasn’t until middle of July that it got warm and sunny. I planted May 22.
@@Highigan Oh that's really cool.... reason I asked is because I collect handmade glass, mostly pendants but I have some shot glasses, a bowl and of course some Frit and Wrap n Rake Spoon's.... lol
My first auto went 130+ days. It was a white widow and came out great but took a long time. Got 5.3 ounces of dry bud off it. Why do you say not to go more than 85days? I dont understand. If its not done its not done. Thanks good video and i like what you two do
If you want really nice autos go with hydroponics..no topping or cutting any nodes just LST..way faster better and easier.. we're harvesting 8 to 12 oz per auto
I'm really confused at pretty much every one of these cause each thing would have been so easy to see if you researched growing autos ahead of time. everything you've said I'm sitting here like yup, saw that with one search, yup heard that from everyone. so this video should be in reality "growing autos without doing any research 1st and being too stubborn to listen to advice" then go ahead and act like all these pointers your giving us were all your ideas ....lol this is so funny and pretentious!!!!
Ive noticed topping ans lst makes your plant veg for longer time. All 3 plants I have i did lst and topping on 2 of them and the 1 i didnt do anything made a big difference. The untopped and no lst is small and the other two are much bigger and grew 2 weeks longer in veg.
Heaven, I need permission to hit on your husband rq; why does Neil look so good rn? lmao! Great video, y'all. Love your stuff. Been creepin for a while. ;)
A White Widow from one breeder being different from the next breeders is absolutely NORMAL. Obviously every breeder is going to have a different version. Even if they have the same type of genetics such as a White Widow plant they will be working with completely different (phenotype) of the same strain. Unless a breeder takes a cut (clone) of a particular pheno and gives it to another breeder to use to make there version of that same strain they obviously will NEVER be the same. And when you talk about Autos there is no taking cuts. So they are kinda like a lottery. Now, you can get a pack of seeds that are all the same strain and they are still going to come out different because of the different (phenotypes) i was talking about. Now, depending on the breeder and how good of a job they did (stabilizing) the genetics will determine how similar each plant is. I'm not a professional breeder! Actually, I'm not a breeder at all lol. So I don't know exactly how everything works. Especially when it comes to stabilizing genetics and back crossing and all kinds of craziness they do to get seeds to come out the same again and again. But more I think with photos then autos. But I think the big thing is making sure you find a breeder who is doing things correctly. But if you guys want more predictable results consider trying your hands at growing photo period plants and start cloning lol. Like the vids though 👍👍👍
Great points and tips fam! We know photos are much more stable and repeatable and the option to clone when you find that one pheno is awesome.. We still love autos even tho they are wild cards, its just part of the auto game! 💚💚 Hope you have an amazing weekend fam!
I’m new to all this have my first grow don’t know what I’m doing. Didn’t grow right how much light do you need for auto flower and how do you know when their flowering?
I recently just started my first grow and my plants are on day 45 but seem pretty small compared to others I’ve seen. What could be some reasons for that? My pots are 5 gallon wide
I’m actually only growing autos because there is such a large amount of people growing autos but nobody’s growing autos in true organic soil where they’re actually making 100% of all their own material
I completely disagree with cutting the bottom nodes. Personally I find that I can train them to grow out and later in life up for some excellent results, you really got to get a good bend on them to force the plants out and up but it is absolutely worth it.
I've had somewhat mixed results with this, each grow I've done I always have 2 of the same strain from same breeder but I train each differently, one LST only, no deleafing, no topping no cutting off the lower nodes, and one plant I do top and prune etc. Each strain is different, out of 10 strains only 3 actually did better for me with topping etc, glueberry, amnesia haze and northern lights. But that's knowledge gained next time I grow those strains that's why i personally do it. Overall I like LST for autos better, I'll bend them over at 4" and work them to the edge of the pot and keep wiring them down around the edge of the pot, the amount of main colas becomes fantastic.
I took an auto flower it then put it outside revenge it just started flowering last week again...ran same strain indoor flushing it this week ..90days the one outside its 3 times the size .
I was sent 20 GSK Extreme autos by mistake (instead of photos) so this will be my first venture into growing autos. Never liked the idea of them but people seem to grow massive buds with them...
Ive still only grew 1 auto. Berry Ryder... Lowrider/Blueberry. It was amazing but i knew NOTHING then so I'm thinking of trying again. I just dont like how the effect, taste, & everything is different from the photoperiod its related to. Id be interested to hear any auto strains u particularly like. Im more of 60/40 Indica but have never just hated any particular high😁.
Heaven says the LSD we did is her favorite we have grown yet. Me I love the effects of the Strawberry Cheese we grew, good vides and high energy! The Sour Diesels coming out of the 5x5 were also great!

I don't like ato flowers
Try growing the mac1 strain it's a really interesting strain and it's rare it's a slow grower but the bud is amazing you can reach up to 34%thc
High again in France ^^ bonjour a vous deux ^^ please y Will try to grow auto for the second time y have à grow room with 720watt bloom led light so m'y question is how much power can y give to m'y auto (ppfd or dli ) thx actually m'y light is at 60cm from canopy at 50%in veg
100-300 par for seedlings, 300-650 par for veg, 600-1050 par for flower, over 1000 par you should use CO2 sublimation
No topping. LST is the way to go. Tie them babies down. Expose them nodes. I get 4-6 oz per plant. Topping puts you behind early in the grow. Great video!
How early do you start? I’m 4 weeks into my first grow and wanted to do it early on but was afraid to ruin the plants haha
@@chrisjackson2821 you can start from 3 week
100% agree with autos the lower the stress the better.
Leaf tucking works to
Agreed
run compost teas' with your autos and you can correct very fast when your using dry organic amendments, i run my autos in coco, growth is insane vs pro mix, i've found it best to just leaf tuck till the start to stretch then i leaf pick, then at the end of stretch i leaf pick again, they usually always grow into 4 foot bushes.
Yes! We just started dabbling in teas! Can't wait to see the results 🙌😍
@@Highigan my autos are in my nursery video's check out what my tea does to them when you get a minute. i think they grow very well. hope you had a great weekend
What strain are you growing? Not very many autos I have grown make it over 3 feet.
@@katjoy9921 im growing 3 cream manadrin xl's from seedsman and a mystery auto. Dutch passions where I've had the best results though. They have plants that all pretty much look the same when you drop 3 beans you get 3 replicas pretty much. Helps with space a ton having things grow uinform everytime.
👍 I read your comment and I do the same for training. Take a few minutes and read my comment above yours. I have really focused on auto growing for years in Coco just like you. My tips or lessons learned could help you. I actually have had a 1lbs nugs only ( strain was important, GG#4 from i49 and Herbieshead shop seeds. Herbieshead shop, auto mix pack 3 strains, 5 beans per equals 15 quality high THC, plus you get 3 free beans of your choice.....drum roll 18 seeds for $82 USD....best reliable quality auto seeds out there for the price.👍
Thanks for the great content. Nice to see 2 people on one show not talking over each other.
Good info for a newer aspiring grower like me. Did my first seasonal outdoor grow from last march on until October and liked the process and my modest 8 oz four plant crop so much I decided to set up for autoflowers between seasonal outdoor grows and will be trying your tips out for sure. Lots of mistakes for both the outdoor and autoflower grows but also lots of learning and fun along the way as well. I will get my green thumb going in time but in the meantime even so I am enjoying growing, harvesting smoking and sharing the green from my modest success so far. I will definitely share your channel with the friends in my little growing message group. Good stuff you guys keep the vids coming.
Thank you for these videos. I've been looking for a passionate hobby every since my fiance passed away. I found peace in cannabis. Both in it's consumption and in its grow. I love this!!!! Of course I'm just starting out and on a budget grow. I chose to grow autos because of all the bad press I heard on them. Because of your channel I've grown confident and passionate about auto flowers!!!??
Sorry for your loss my guy.
Life will get better. God closes doors but will always leave a window open for you to find. 🥂
You two are the first ones I've ever seen clone an auto. Everyone says you cant but I watched yall do it lol. That's called haveing fun . Great job guys. Love yall.
Something's not right if they are cloning an auto it doesn't work like. Not everything on the internet is true
Literally no one says you can't do it...... They say it's not worth it
Bill Ward been cloning autos for a long time...
This was very useful info for a beginner like me. Thanks. For clarification, does the 12 week life cycle start from when they come up out of the soil?
Yeah that's when we start counting, sometimes they don't make it or take days to pop up, so we always start the count on the day we see its out of the soil! Write that date on your plant name tag so you can know when it started! Helps down the road!
I had the same question. Thanks guys.
One thing you'll realize is all of the greatest growers have made every one of these mistakes and that's why they're great at it. 😉
Keep growing! You guys are awesome!
First thing I wish I would’ve known about autos is that they’re A novelty selling point not worth wasting your time growing. This is 15 years of experience speaking. You’re not getting faster or easier bud. You are just getting lower quality. You could veg your photos out and flip them in the same amount of time. The only benefit you’re looking at he’s not having to flip or worry about your light schedule being interrupted. If you’re mowing to invest time and money into growing one might as well not take any risk and go for the highest quality possible. There’s not a worse feeling than wasting all those weeks on some low quality bud it’s really not satisfying. I’ve tried hydroponics, auto flowers, synthetic fertilizers, organics, 2 gallon pots, 7 gallon pots, dozens of breeders. Everyone has different preferences and climates but for the most part the best route Is an organic living soil grow with Gaia green amendments earth worm castings, Michorizzae, and some form of manure, top dress every four weeks. And you pointed out another con for me. There’s no correcting an auto flower. It’s the roots at the bottom of the pot and it goes into flower before it even has two nodes, or you overwater, underwater, overfeed, underfeed. PH wrong. It’s over. No fixing it. With all of the amazing genetics flooding the market I find it hard to understand how the auto flower industry is still striving other than amateur growers who bought into the idea of novelty. I would much rather take this very little effort of flipping my lights and having control over light leaks, especially having control over veg time. There is nothing more frustrating than an auto that produces you a quarter ounce of bulk and you spent go to $15 a seed and wasted up to three months of your life on. I’ve maybe had two out of a dozen auto flowers that were worth growing. And those numbers aren’t good enough for me
Shocking the plant with such a small duration is not advised. I found the best is low stress training when one or two are reaching. With a 80 day Harvest I prefer super soil with a bloom boost toward the end. And only water half of the pot without any water coming out the bottom. This way they can have constant oxygen.
Great tips!
I just planted my first 4 plants. 4 x Auto. I have settled on LST before you posted but glad of the confirmation. Thank you. Can you confirm something for me. Are you saying you never have run off? I am able water as slowly as possible and was planning to have very little but your post suggest you might have no run off. If that is the case I would love to follow that on try #1.
After re reading I am quite sure you do not generate run off. Thank you very much for posting because I was curious about this exactly. With all the talk of run off I was going to over water them but something in my gut knew consistant run off could not be good for roots.
I bought a super soil, best one I could and added about 60% all purpose and 40% bloom. Was very tempted to get seaweed ectract, rhino skin and bud candy but I decided to just keep 1st attempt simple. What would you recommend to put on my shopping list in this regard if I can ask you? Those 3 I see coming up again and again but I am one of the newest growers period so would love to know which nutrients you rate.
@@t.b.bishop9749 .....hay t.b.,... first thing I learned, to simplify your growing and to give the plant what it needs. So having said that, I pick up the super soil from a company called "coast of Maine", stonington blend. The thing with super soil its active and you don't need to add anything up until the flower stage. When they talk about flushing it's because they add nutrients to a poor medium such as Coco coir that has no nutrients at all. Then you run into pH problems and then you run into overfeeding, and that's when you have to flush everything out to save the plant. I run autoflowers in a 3 gallon fiber material, that way it gets the oxygen. When I do water that's only half of it, take a marker or a coin or a pencil and put it on one half of the pot where you just add water, and then after a few days when I gets dry, you know to water the opposite side without it leaking through the bottom, although you have to start very slow because the water will run off the top. And don't use tap water with chlorine. Toward the end at about 6 weeks they'll start to Bud, that's when you need nutrients for the promotion of flowers and the resin that will give the bud a nice texture and flavor. The bloom enhancer I found off of Amazon was called flower fuel, super premium. NPK 1-34-32, good luck out there.
I use coast of Maine platinum. It’s made for autos. And lotus nutes about half way Thru the cycle. Pretty easy. And good quality. I don’t train shit. I do remove a few leads here and there for extra light penetration.
The amount of days is cultivar dependant but you should be using a jewellers loop to look at the tricombs
The genetic differences are just different phenos being expressed right? Or is there something else going on do you speculate??
84 and out the door is good, with the exception of waiting on tricombs to finish ambering.
Typically if they go longer its our own fault for something we did to stunt them 🤣 live n learn!
@@Highigan I experienced that with my Death Star Autos. I guess due to heat.
After listening to your first two tips, I think you should know that I don't plan on selling you guys my weed. I still want to know more about how you guys grow, but.... Yeah.
Good we would not buy your weed anyway we have more than enough cuz we grow our own 🤣 #weedrich 🌳🌳🌳
@@Highigan good because I have questions about the weed you guys grow and the weed clones that I just bought lololol
We have been growing autos the whole time so different than photos, people don't generally try and clone autos.
@@Highigan I got clones from a reputable source on the west coast of California I plan on making their plants very ANGRY. I don't plan on losing any plants but I also have a host of places to regurgitate or rejuvenate. So I'm hopeful. I asked for two varieties and one variety is literally a half inch shorter than the other. Yeay.
Hello! I love watching you guys. I am a new grower. My question is what is the brown powder stuff that you put in the pot on top of the topsoil and pour water on it during the vegetative stage?
Heaven likes roots organic dry amendments. They have a veg blend and the terp tea for flower.
84 day rule...I like that. As for 9 weeks, I agree. The Zkittlez was in veg for 5 weeks and flowering for 8 weeks. And the GDP's and Gelato, 2 weeks of veg about and 8-9 weeks of flower. So 10-14 weeks depending on the strain. Good tips.
My Guy is out here

Autos suck, smart less is better always go with 1-4 not even half then water . And less water also they don’t like to much water at all .. you do this with training and level canopy have big chuncks
Over watering is def a danger with autos that will cause issues! Great tip! 💚
Bro I’m pretty sure I followed your Instagram years/years back. If that account is still up, I’m still following. Looking good 👊🏻✊🏻👊🏻✊🏻
En187 my motorcycle channel its still out there lol
84 out the door.....not true when grown outside. They always veg longer when put outdoors. Grown autos outside for over 10 years now.
Great tip we have not grown many autos outdoors but that definitely makes sense since most locations aren't getting 18+ hours daylight consistently over the grow. We have grow 99% of our autos indoors! We plan on doing some outdoor this year! 🙌💚🌳
Always check trichomes with a microscope 10 to 20% amber is to my liking any further than that and THC starts to rapidly degrade it doesn’t matter what the strain or if it’s auto flower or how long the plants have been growing this is the benchmark standard for all Marijuana plants to a healthy ripe harvest.
Just go with a true living soil like buildasoil and you will not see anymore lack of nutrients the auto will have everything it needs seed thru harvest just worry about ur water add microbes it's truly that easy!!
Heard good things about build a soil never tried tho !
Top the first 4 - 5 branches as in as it gets taller Top that new side branch and tie those branches down 20 main Tops + and use the biggest pot you can fit in the area ,small pots are just saying NO to yield a good AIRY soil/medium so you can feed more often/water and adjust if over or under your desired ppm , the reason i say Airy Soil is because in there natural environment the ground they grow in is all new leaf litter and branches and other plant matter breaking down and has a lot of space between the medium and other parts of the medium , Cannabis has generally a shallow root zone because of this.
You should always use distilled water with any type of humidifier
Does help esp if its an ultrasonic humidifier. I got a new evaporative humidifier unit, zero issues with straight tap water, no more white dust or residue, straight from the tap to the unit, love it!
I dig ya'lls vibe. Thanks for the video, gonna check your others out, especially the grows. I want to start a Blue Dream grow, thinking about auto for my first grow.
Thanks fam! We love the autos fast turn around and explosive growth! They can be challenging to start with but mastering them will lead to you being able to grow photos that much better! They are fun!
I love it when people say exspecially
🤣🤣 Maybe its a Michigan thing
I find DWC ends up with more consistent excellent results. People say that DWC is complicated, but I find it easier. You just pH the water, measure your fertilizer for the water, change the water every two weeks and you don’t have to read the plants very much. Once the plants are big I do top off the water every two days. You end up with at least twice the yield of organically grown plants.
I accidentally topped my banana kush auto at the 8th node during lst yet she's doing better than the gg#4 and the gsce but who knows, this is my first grow.
Accident topped we have done that 🤣.some autos handle it better than others!
U most definitely can top auto's
@@Jay-tj1md yes u can. Topped my blue dream matic from fast buds. My autos finish in 8 weeks with a really great yield. I pulled 1/2LB on my first auto flower. No training whatsoever. I am running 2-4x8 tents with 2-TS 3000 in one and 2-FC6500 in the other. In my 5x5 I’m running 1-FC E6500. Love my lights. Marshydro has changed the game. I’m a beginner grower so lights and environment for me where everything before I even started growing.
So you guys confirmed my suspicion on why my two autos are completely different. Same grow environment, same nutes. One Just decided to stretch to the moon 🌚 and the other was short and bushy. I thought they were different genetics one being a sativa and another being a indica but I think you guys are correct.
Which strain went to the moon?
I learned this time if you over water it as a seedling it stunts its growth a lot. At 3 1/2 weeks she's almost 4in tall and has 2 nodes
Yeah to much watering can def effect the plants, stunting early on usually leads to a longer grow or when we see autos going past 84 days.
To much watering doesn't let the roots grow down and out to find moisture. You do need to let seedlings stay moist with small doses of water, but then allow those roots to travel farther for what they want.
Love the video guys. But when using dry amendments you can supplement with compost teas while waiting that week for the amendments to break down. That way your not playing catch up as much.
We are just starting to dive into compost teas, something we were not doing before, so far results have been great! We will cover it in the upcoming grow series as they progress! Great comment and tip! We learnin! 💚💚
@@Highigan the way I like to use my compost tea’s is kinda like a fuel to a fire with the soil being my fire. The amendments are more like the wood. The wood burns great when you add it to the fire, but a little compost tea to fuel the fire can really help. But be careful not to add too much “fuel” to the fire because then it can become explosive or uncontrollable and it will be too hot for the plant to handle. Have fun guys!!!
I'm a new grower myself and I have run 1 batch of autoflowers so far but I definitely agree with the training thing cuz I didn't train and my plants and they got way to tall which was giving me problems cuz I can only raise my light so high but def do LST!!
Some beast out way harder! We do like topping even tho most people recommend against it, we have seen good results doing it early in life! Never know unless ya try and we over here goin mad scientist 👩🔬👨🔬🧪✂🌱🤣
I just finished 8, 2 plants of 4 dif strains a while ago and I topped 1 of each strain and clearly an early top way out performed the not topped. I've only used growers choice seeds for 2 auto runs bout to start 3rd
@@Highigan must try stuff for ourselves. Guaranteed.
With a Auto just bend it over and tie it down don't top it. Or people don't realize if your lights density is right and close enough to your plants your plants won't stretch like crazy and all the nodes will grow out without no training
Tie over the top is a method we have tried a bunch, but top makes a more even plant, alot of times when you tie down you get a bunch of branches that try and reach around cuz they are on the bottom, alot of times those branches dont produce or never end up growing around so they can get good light so they end up getting cut off.
@@Highigan the smaller the plant the easier it is for the light to get to everything if you Tie the top down you can continue to tie all the other branches down the bottom will catch up LST. In the end it is whatever works best for you. I start bending my plants over immediately at the third node and continue to do so. by the time they go into flower they're only about 8 in tall I continue to tie down all the way until the fourth week of flower. which gives me the result of a flat even canopy and anything lower that hasn't made it to the top are full and ripe also because they are getting the light they need. by the time my plants are finished they're lucky if they're a foot 1/2 tall and they are bushy as hell.
@@ehheueneu Yeah we have done that many times, still not as even as topping once and training them out IMO

Flush well before adding the seedlings, then watch for leaf tip burn. You may have to flush it again.
You can do anything to an auto that you can a photo.
12 week autos? Yalls genetics or environment is off.
From seed to chop for most autos we have tried to run is right around 84 days, how long do they usually take you?

Hells yeah 💚🤙
Whats the benefits of Autos?
@@johnnysanchez4996 Grows Faster Than Photoperiods If I’m Not Mistaken
Not necessarily. You can veg a photo for 4 weeks and put it into flower and it can finish as fast as an Auto. Don't Autos take 12 weeks to finish?
@@johnnysanchez4996 It depends on a number of things: medium, pot size, whether indoor or out, light intensity. As for autoflower benefits; no need to worry about light leaks, you don't need as much input to get great results, and generally faster turnaround. Photos have autos beat when it comes to yield and the ability to take clones, plus the option to reveg and fix problems as they arise.
I just got a English muffin commercial
🤣
u can get a RO water filter cheap that will fix the dust problem
84 days... ? My autos average 100/110 days from the day they first pop until ready to chop
Whos genetics are ya running? For us and how we have been growing at least, most plants finish in 84 days, 12 weeks from time the plant pops out of soil

Organic nutrients are tricky especially top amendments they take longer for the plant to process so a common mistake is feeding your plants and 2 or 3 days no visible results so you feed some more and then the next day or two you wake up check your plants and their burnt and darker green than Astro turf when using organic dry amendments you have to be patient give it at least a week for the plant to break it down then you’ll see results.
let me know about the discord channel.

Add Organic Bottled nutes
We have been doing that as filler, we are not getting into compost teas! They seem to help!
Full plant tie down for autos all day. I wouldn't top. Topped one and let one grow natty and the Natty one was higher yield and a much bigger plant. If I would have did a full plant tie down I would have had multiple colas around the same size instead of one giant cola with them decreasing in size as you go down the plant. Still dense but just much smaller

Nutrients is definitely something to play by book and watch closely. I was growing some gorilla cookies auto, and I overfed while in flower and she turned brown so fast within two days. She packed on so nice, gave a little discouragement but that was my first and last lesson on nutrients 😂
We are finding that too, autos can be finicky with nutes and every strain handles them differently! Def a good tip and something to keep in mind!
Wanting to try autos, though I see no feeding charts for them. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
@@jhonwayne1003 you need a chart for each individual strain if you want to do it right. Best you pick a strain and learn to work with it.

Yeah we have noticed what slows them the most is our own mistakes, that's usually the "special circumstances" we were talking about. If you do something to stunt it early on, it will usually take longer to finish out! We learnin! 🙏💚
I used to work for a hydroponic grow store....
Number One Advice:
*STOP MESSING WITH YOUR PLANTS*
less is more
No topping...LST only....lollipop the bottom 20% at week 3 of flower. Start with *tall* pots and layer in 30% bloom soil in the bottom of the pot, 50% veg soil above that, and 20% coco/worm castings on top.
Less is more! We are trying to find our groove so we have just been experimenting! Def might try that mix soon tho in an up coming grow series! Love it! Thanks for the tips! 💚
Thats quite alot tho XD
Thank you, just started my first grow here in MN got everything set up in a 4x2. Got 3 auto in there now. Just on day 1. The gal I got the seeds from told me not to germinate the seeds. If they don’t sprout I will be germinating them next time! Thank you for giving me the courage to try at home! Love your videos very informative and helpful!
My tip if you're going to use organic dry amendments mix you're soil months in advance or as long as possible. And don't let it dry out!!!
Good idea! We haven't tried that yet! 🙏💚
84 Days for an auto sounds about right.👌 3 to 4 weeks of vegetative growth, and 8 to 9 weeks of flower development. Never grew an auto, but it reminds me of doing a 12/12 from sprout with a photoperiod
Yeah and it works bomb for our perpetual all in one tent, just plant 4 a mo, chop ,4 since we can grow 12 plants here, it's perfect for us! And supply's more than enough to keep us goin 🔥💨
Sounds about right? No it doesnt sound about right. All auto strains have a pre determined life cycle from start to finish depending on the photperiod strain they crossed with the ruderallis strain. It.could be 50 days. It could be 90 days. It depends on the autoflower strain

Yeah sometimes you get those wild ones that just keep going, if its the strain, pheno or something that happened. Special cases always come up, then its a question of is it going to finish out or just keep going and never turn out..

@@engell3707 of course all truths are but half truths… but I should have seen the troll in the bushes.
i was freaking out cleaning for days before i realized it was my water and humidifier. ty guys for sharing
Right us too! Its the minerals from hard water. An evaporative humidifier does not produce the mineral dust like an ultrasonic humidifier does. The dust is not harmful it's just unsightly and annoying!
The dust although not toxic to the plant can greatly reduce the photosynthesis of light to leaf, if you are not deep into flower I would advise tilting the plant and rinse of with plain ph'ed water to restore full photosynthesis.
The drying process has defeated me 5 times I'm praying this next one will be good
Where do you think you are going wrong? Aim for 60° 50-60% rh. Have a fan circulating air but not pointing at the buds. Avoid humidity
Listen jus hang out in your closet with your normal house ac will take care of everything. 9 to 14 days later. Throw in Grove bags. Done
@@dmo848 I wish it was that simple
best not to top autos, use netting to vine it out. or LST
Another way to rid the minerals from the humidifier, you can put one of those camper in line filters on any of your taps and it will remove those minerals...
Zero water filter gets everything out
Is that 84 days from a seed to finished ? Really ?? New to Autos.
Autos would also have various phenotypes in the same strain (cultivar is actually the correct word, , not strain! 🧐) That's why not all seeds are the same from the same grower in the same pack. Simple.
Thanks for all your AUTOS advice. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When you're low on space, like I have a 3x3x6, would you say it's better to go with autos or fems? Are there some big do's and dont's?
great tips and another banger video ! love it
Thank you fam 🥺💚
The grow period stated on the package is usually only the "flowering" period, which allows them to pretend that autos are faster, because their veg period is really short and happens automatically, but the flowering time is still the same as photoperiods, still the same 2-3 weeks of stretch followed by 6-8 weeks of maturation. Which is why I've always disliked autos, I don't have any control over the plant before it flips a switch on it's own, and if I try to train the plant, it'll stunt it and give a poor result, and it's still going to take just as long to grow as a photoperiod.
i'm not saying you shouldn't top autos coz there's plenty of proof that it can be done, but 30 days seems super late ngl. for me i decide at the end of week two whether or not she's gonna be topped. if she's a slow poke and not strong enough for topping at around day 14 i'll just stick to LST with some lollipopping. i want her to have fully recovered before she starts flowering, not during the start of it. but if day 30 works for you, then who am i to tell you to do it differently. at the end of the day everyone has their own way of growing.
I'm an outside hobby grower in SoCal....I tried an auto Tangerine Dream grow next to my other plants....it was late in the season so it only grew like 12" tall before it started flowering....nice strain...fun to watch race to the finish line....I just let it go...do whatever it does....well...it turned hermaphrodite...."hermy" and dropped seeds into its pot....one grew....grew bigger than the plant...and flowered again....fun to watch...I keep my plants small...like around 5-6 feet....just enough for a years smoke...maybe i'll grow more autos someday...but to me...they are indoor plants....
they are definitely much much better indoors because you can give them 24hrs of lite and there fine with it. Can't beat the sun but ya cant do that outdoors lol. I wish
What kind of medium do you use?
Coco for synthetic soil with the organic grows.
I think when roots hits bottom they flower. My biggest been in big containers. Im doing mephesto in 7 gal fab organic under a hlg 320 r spec.
what do i know the dude from did he do motovlogs
ahhh found out my boy arson rides lmao thats a wild crossover
Haha im not Arson but I know him very well 💚
84days??? Today is day 84 and one auto is 2.5ft tall and in like 3rd or 4th week into flowering. Other plant is 1.5ft tall and just started flowering last week. Both are gorilla glue autos. Growing in Vancouver, Canada Outdoors. They only get direct sun in the evening. I don’t care how long it takes thou. I just put them in a pot and let nature do it’s thing. No topping, pruning, and just some bloom top dressing when I saw pre-flowers. But we had a shitty start to the year. It was cold and rainy all the time. Wasn’t until middle of July that it got warm and sunny. I planted May 22.
Do you dabble in blowing glass..? I noticed the sand blaster in the back….
Not blowing glass but I use it for various things, some sand blasting designs onto glass! I did my ash catcher with an alien and a astronaut lol
@@Highigan Oh that's really cool.... reason I asked is because I collect handmade glass, mostly pendants but I have some shot glasses, a bowl and of course some Frit and Wrap n Rake Spoon's.... lol
That's cool! We have a local glass artist here we wanna have them make us a custom bong and film the process! How fun would that be!
@@Highigan DO IT, DO IT, DO IT..!!!!!
I like how she made her nail polish color different on the one finger. That's hot!
💅💚
My first auto went 130+ days. It was a white widow and came out great but took a long time. Got 5.3 ounces of dry bud off it. Why do you say not to go more than 85days? I dont understand. If its not done its not done. Thanks good video and i like what you two do
Dope vid !!!! About to grow some Hawaiian gold autos
Sounds firreeee! Thanks for watchin fam!
Surly tricombs dictate when to harvest
Yes! We agree. Tricomes are definitely how you check, however we find that 84 days is when we really see that happen. 💚💚 thanks for watching fam 🤙
Email me would love to how you my 100% organic grow fox farm soil 5 gallon pot. Afghan kush growers choice seed. She very big
Phenotypes it’s called!!
If you want really nice autos go with hydroponics..no topping or cutting any nodes just LST..way faster better and easier.. we're harvesting 8 to 12 oz per auto
Thats whats up! When we get our house together we wanna try hydro or DWC with autos! So much fun stuff coming!
@@Highigan rite on..
like a water indoor garden system?
That is crazy off an auto gunna have to pick your brain for sure!
I'm really confused at pretty much every one of these cause each thing would have been so easy to see if you researched growing autos ahead of time. everything you've said I'm sitting here like yup, saw that with one search, yup heard that from everyone. so this video should be in reality "growing autos without doing any research 1st and being too stubborn to listen to advice" then go ahead and act like all these pointers your giving us were all your ideas ....lol this is so funny and pretentious!!!!
Gotto say autos are cool tho if u got space slap a good light 250wPlus in veg area Slap autos in veg area then u Get bud from veg area tooo
Ive noticed topping ans lst makes your plant veg for longer time. All 3 plants I have i did lst and topping on 2 of them and the 1 i didnt do anything made a big difference. The untopped and no lst is small and the other two are much bigger and grew 2 weeks longer in veg.
Great information to share guys, helping the community ✌🏽💯
Appreciate it!!
Heaven, I need permission to hit on your husband rq; why does Neil look so good rn? lmao! Great video, y'all. Love your stuff. Been creepin for a while. ;)
A White Widow from one breeder being different from the next breeders is absolutely NORMAL. Obviously every breeder is going to have a different version. Even if they have the same type of genetics such as a White Widow plant they will be working with completely different (phenotype) of the same strain. Unless a breeder takes a cut (clone) of a particular pheno and gives it to another breeder to use to make there version of that same strain they obviously will NEVER be the same. And when you talk about Autos there is no taking cuts. So they are kinda like a lottery. Now, you can get a pack of seeds that are all the same strain and they are still going to come out different because of the different (phenotypes) i was talking about. Now, depending on the breeder and how good of a job they did (stabilizing) the genetics will determine how similar each plant is. I'm not a professional breeder! Actually, I'm not a breeder at all lol. So I don't know exactly how everything works. Especially when it comes to stabilizing genetics and back crossing and all kinds of craziness they do to get seeds to come out the same again and again. But more I think with photos then autos. But I think the big thing is making sure you find a breeder who is doing things correctly. But if you guys want more predictable results consider trying your hands at growing photo period plants and start cloning lol. Like the vids though 👍👍👍
Great points and tips fam! We know photos are much more stable and repeatable and the option to clone when you find that one pheno is awesome.. We still love autos even tho they are wild cards, its just part of the auto game! 💚💚 Hope you have an amazing weekend fam!
Randomly stumbled on this as a rookie grower. Your vibe is awesome, can’t wait to check out more videos!
Sup guys just subscribe
Welcome aboard fam!
I follow you guys and I love how the both of you give detailed explanations but if you lST the Autos it will increase the yields
Oh yeah LST is definitely the way to go, we train with stakes, you can see how we do in the grow series
What dry amendments during veg? And what during flowering? And do you flush? TIA
I’m new to all this have my first grow don’t know what I’m doing. Didn’t grow right how much light do you need for auto flower and how do you know when their flowering?
I recently just started my first grow and my plants are on day 45 but seem pretty small compared to others I’ve seen. What could be some reasons for that? My pots are 5 gallon wide
I’m actually only growing autos because there is such a large amount of people growing autos but nobody’s growing autos in true organic soil where they’re actually making 100% of all their own material
what about things like "always drop seedlings in final pot" or "never transplant" etc... Have you found these are true?
Top them as soon as you can I top my 2 time but I do my at 2or3 week is when I start
We like to top once around day 20-26 if it looks like it might be a run away
Well ok but I get 8 to 10 top bud
Same we like to trim bottom most nodes around day 20 then top once at 5 nodes makes 10 even mains
I completely disagree with cutting the bottom nodes. Personally I find that I can train them to grow out and later in life up for some excellent results, you really got to get a good bend on them to force the plants out and up but it is absolutely worth it.
Y prefere cut the apex in place of bottom nodes so that y can lst my plant and train that branches .. but in perfect world y Will just lst
✌️cuting causes stress right bend her over lst is best on autos , and wouldnt top auto, could stunt it
I've had somewhat mixed results with this, each grow I've done I always have 2 of the same strain from same breeder but I train each differently, one LST only, no deleafing, no topping no cutting off the lower nodes, and one plant I do top and prune etc. Each strain is different, out of 10 strains only 3 actually did better for me with topping etc, glueberry, amnesia haze and northern lights. But that's knowledge gained next time I grow those strains that's why i personally do it. Overall I like LST for autos better, I'll bend them over at 4" and work them to the edge of the pot and keep wiring them down around the edge of the pot, the amount of main colas becomes fantastic.
Cut those nodes!!
@@airbornestoner3077 it's stain dependant
I took an auto flower it then put it outside revenge it just started flowering last week again...ran same strain indoor flushing it this week ..90days the one outside its 3 times the size .
I have one outside and it's goin crazy! LSD auto day 48
I was sent 20 GSK Extreme autos by mistake (instead of photos) so this will be my first venture into growing autos. Never liked the idea of them but people seem to grow massive buds with them...
How'd it turn out, Brendan? Personally, I like the control and mistake tolerance I get from photos. Auto is definitely a learning experience...
Ik this was three years ago but bro change that damn music please like bro it’s so bad please
Ive still only grew 1 auto. Berry Ryder... Lowrider/Blueberry. It was amazing but i knew NOTHING then so I'm thinking of trying again. I just dont like how the effect, taste, & everything is different from the photoperiod its related to. Id be interested to hear any auto strains u particularly like. Im more of 60/40 Indica but have never just hated any particular high😁.
Heaven says the LSD we did is her favorite we have grown yet. Me I love the effects of the Strawberry Cheese we grew, good vides and high energy! The Sour Diesels coming out of the 5x5 were also great!
